The Nov 21, 2002 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine ( Vol 347 #21 pp1645-1651) brings an extremely important paper by Laura A. Koustky et al., A Controlled Trial of a Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Vaccine.
The Editorial by Christopher P. Crum - The Beginning of the End for Cervical Cancer? pp 1703-1705 concludes on a very optimistic tone: "...If the promise implicit in the study by Koutsky et al. is realized, we could, in our lifetime, see the gradual but progressive dismantling of the barriers to preventing cervical cancer. The captives of our current system - both patients and their caregivers - may set free." Amen!
See the March 2007 Nature Biotechnology editorial on Merck´s vaccine and the mandatory vaccination controversy.
Quote: "If you look at the history of science, with few exceptions, revolutions and change have been triggered by books. Not journal articles. Books have done far more than anything else. Think of THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES, NEWTON'S PRINCIPIA, etc.; the entire evolutionary synthesis came about through a number of important books." Michael Shermer - of Skeptic magazine.
